"Myself" is one of the "reflexive" pronouns, which should be used whenever an element of the predicate of a sentence represents the same person as an element of the subject of the same sentence. The easiest way to remember is: If you say the sentence again, but leave out "John", you would then say "I confirm myself as a participant." You wouldn't say "I confirm me as a participant."
